The seismicity, seismism or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time.
Determining the largest earthquakes can be a difficult task. Below is the list of all known 10 Strongest earthquakes measured or estimated to have a moment magnitude scale or Richter magnitude scale of 8.5 and above.

Top 10 Strongest Earthquakes in The History.

1. Valdivia Earthquake, Southern Chile

Magnitude: 9.5 Mw

Deaths: 1,655

Date: May 22nd, 1960

The 1960 Valdivia earthquake or Great Chilean Earthquake of Sunday, 22 May 1960 is to date the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Earth’s history, rating 9.5 on the moment magnitude scale. It occurred in the afternoon and its resulting tsunami affected southern Chile, Hawaii, Japan, the Philippines, eastern New Zealand, southeast Australia, and the Aleutian Islands in Alaska.
Approximately 1,655 killed, 3,000 injured, 2,000,000 homeless, and $550 million damage in southern Chile; tsunami caused 61 deaths, $75 million damage in Hawaii; 138 deaths and $50 million damage in Japan; 32 dead and missing in the Philippines; and $500,000 damage to the west coast of the United States.

2. Great Alaskan Earthquake
Magnitude: 9.2

Deaths: 141

Date: Mar 27th, 1964

The 1964 Alaskan earthquake was a megathrust earthquake that began at 5:36 P.M. AST on Good Friday, March 27, 1964. Across south-central Alaska, ground fissures, collapsing structures, and tsunamis resulting from the earthquake caused about 143 deaths. It was the most powerful recorded earthquake in U.S. and North American history, and the second most powerful ever measured by seismograph. It had a magnitude of 9.2, at the time making it the second largest earthquake in recorded history.
The shaking lasted about 4 minutes. Landslides in Anchorage caused heavy damage. Huge slides occurred in the downtown business section and water mains and gas, sewer, telephone and electrical systems were disrupted throughout the area.

3. Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami

Magnitude: 9.1 Mw

Deaths: 227,898

Date: Dec 26th, 2004

The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was an undersea megathrust earthquake that occurred at 00:58:53 UTC on Sunday, 26 December 2004, with an epicentre off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia.
The earthquake was caused by subduction and triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing over 230,000 people in fourteen countries, and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 meters (98 ft) high. It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. Indonesia was the hardest-hit country, followed by Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand.
The tsunami caused more casualties than any other in recorded history, although some estimates say the death toll from the 2010 Haiti earthquake was larger. The tsunami was recorded nearly world-wide on tide gauges in the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

4. Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, Japan

Magnitude: 9.0 Mw

Deaths: 15,870

Date: Mar 11th, 2011

Great East Japan Earthquake was a magnitude 9.03 (Mw) undersea megathrust earthquake off the coast of Japan that occurred at 14:46 JST (05:46 UTC) on Friday, 11 March 2011,with the epicenter approximately 70 kilometres (43 mi) east of the Oshika Peninsula of Tohoku and the hypocenter at an underwater depth of approximately 32 km (20 mi). It was the most powerful known earthquake ever to have hit Japan, and one of the five most powerful earthquakes in the world since modern record. This quake killed an estimated 15,870 people and damaged some nuclear reactors. This earthquake is the largest ever recorded in Japan.
This quake caused 15,870 deaths, 6,114 injured, and 2,814 people missing across twenty prefectures, as well as 129,225 buildings totally collapsed, with a further 254,204 buildings ‘half collapsed’, and another 691,766 buildings partially damaged.

5. Kamchatka Earthquakes, Russia

Magnitude: 9.0 Mw

Date: Nov 4th, 1952

The world’s first recorded magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck off the east coast of Kamchatka in 1952. The quake generated a 43-foot tsunami (13 m) locally. The main earthquake struck at 16:58 GMT on November 4, 1952. Initially assigned a magnitude of 8.2, the quake was revised to 9.0 Mw and a period of about 17 minutes, in later years. A large tsunami resulted, causing destruction and loss of life around the Kamchatka peninsula and the Kuril Islands. Hawaii was also struck, with estimated damages of up to US$1 million and livestock losses, but no human casualties were recorded.

6. Offshore Maule, Chile

Magnitude: 8.8

Deaths: 525

Date: 27 February 2010

The 2010 Chile earthquake occurred off the coast of central Chile on Saturday, 27 February 2010, at 03:34 local time (06:34 UTC), having a magnitude of 8.8, with intense shaking lasting for about three minutes. It ranks as the sixth largest earthquake ever to be recorded by a seismograph. It was felt strongly in six Chilean regions.
The earthquake triggered a tsunami which devastated several coastal towns in south-central Chile and damaged the port at Talcahuano.It causes Casualties, 525 killed, 25 missing.

7. Ecuador-Colombia Earthquake

Magnitude: 8.8

Deaths: 1,500

Date: January 31, 1906

The 1906 Ecuador-Colombia earthquake occurred at 15:36 UTC on January 31, off the coast of Ecuador, near Esmeraldas. The earthquake had a magnitude of 8.8 and triggered a destructive tsunami that caused at least 500 casualties on the coast of Colombia.
A catastrophic magnitude 8.8 earthquake ruptured off the coast of Ecuador and Colombia and generated a strong tsunami that killed 500 to 1,500 people. The tsunami spread along the coast of Central America, and even stretched to San Francisco and Japan.
The earthquake occurred along the boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate. The earthquake is likely to be a result of thrust-faulting, caused by the subduction of the Nazca plate beneath the South American plate.
The coastal parts of Ecuador and Colombia have a history of great megathrust earthquakes originating from this plate boundary.

8. Rat Islands, Alaska

Magnitude: 8.7

Date: 4 February, 1965

Alaska had been a state for only 7 years when this huge earthquake triggered a tsunami of over 30 feet (10 meters). Despite its size, the quake caused little damage due to its remote location at the tip of the Aleutian Islands.
The 1965 Rat Islands earthquake occurred at 05:01 UTC, on 4 February. It had a magnitude of 8.7 and triggered a tsunami of over 10 m on Shemya Island, but caused very little damage.
Flooding from the tsunami caused $10,000 worth of damage on Amchitka Island. Minor damage from the earthquake was recorded on both Attu and Shemya islands in the form of cracks in runways.

9. Northern Sumatra, Indonesia
Magnitude: 8.6

Deaths: 1300

Date: 28 March 2005

Sumatra earthquake was a major earthquake on 28 March 2005, located off the west coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia. Approximately 1300 people were killed by the earthquake, mostly on the island of Nias.
The earthquake occurred at 16:09:36 UTC, on 28 March 2005. The earthquake lasted for about two minutes in total. The quake ruptured below the surface of the Indian Ocean, where the Indo-Australian Plate is pushing under the Eurasian plate at the Sunda trench, similar to the 2004 quake.

10. Assam-Tibet

Magnitude: 8.6

Deaths: 780

Date: 1950

In 1950, a massive 8.6 magnitude earthquake hit the Assam – Tibet region, killing at least 780 people, injuring thousands, and destroying many buildings. Cracks developed in the ground and large landslides occurred, and a village slid into a river and was washed away. Severe damage was also experienced in Assam, India and the vicinity.
The quake struck at the intersection of the most vigorous collision of continental plates on the planet, where the Indian continental plate smashes into the Eurasian plate and dives beneath it. The slow-motion crash helped create the massive Himalayas.

Our article discusses the stories which are still considered mysteries. For many hours, science is trying its theories, tactics and logics to get the truth out of these mysteries but no output is produced yet. There are a lot of mysteries that are under scientific evaluation but we are listing top 10 of them. We hope this article will be a fine piece of interesting and worth reading information.

1. Bermuda Triangle

Known as the Bermuda Triangle, this legendary expanse of ocean can be found between the points of Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. Pilots often tell of their instruments going haywire and numerous ships have been lost at sea. With explanations ranging from gas bubbles to aliens, no one is sure what is behind the strange phenomena.

2. The Lost City of Atlantis

The civilization of Atlantis is like Athenians and other related civilizations which are yet to be dug and found. Its presence is based on its indication in work of Plato which shows the importance of state machinery. The city still remains vague with some bridges and rocks found. The reason behind its no. 2 standing on the list is the fact in the book “The Republic”, which says that the great city was as large as Asia and Libya combined together. Moreover, its gold worth the weight of all Greece. The powerful city perished under water smacked by the waves of Atlantic Ocean. It is assumed that the city was punished by god of water and earth, Poseidon.

3. Shroud of Turin

The shroud of Turin is a sepia colored sheet which shows the imprint of a man with a beard and long hair. The body of this man is nail wounded to his feet and wrists, a spear wound on his chest and pinpricks from thorns around his forehead, all consistent with crucifixion. It is Christianity’s one of the greatest holy objects. Placed in climate controlled case in Turin Cathedral, it attracts millions of pilgrims each year. It is a mystery from the time when it was investigated and results revealed human blood traces and pollens that only grow form the plants around Jerusalem. Science is still unable to explain how the image of a body of a man with such details could have formed on the cloth. It is yet a mystery whether this shroud is the original burial of Jesus or what.

4.DB Cooper

When DB Cooper hijacked a Boeing 727 along with $200,000, he proceeded to jump out of the plane with a parachute. He was never found, however, and this remains the only unsolved case in US aviation history.

6.Tamam Shud

Back in December 1948, an unidentified man was found dead in Somerton Beach, located in Adelaide, Australia. Found in one of his pockets was a piece of paper with the words “Tamam Shud” written on it. The words were translated “finished” or “ended” based on excerpts found in The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Although governments around the world have tried to identify the man his identity has remained mystery.

5. Zodiac Killer

On number 5 of our list, is a serial killer who achieved fame for her notorious letters sent to Bay Area police in north California. He used to write coding digits in his letters. Among all of them, only one was decrypted. The man with unashamed madness claimed 37 murders. He used to tease the police by leaving clues and hints for any future plans in his coded letters along with the strips of bloody clothing as a proof of his statement. With his first murder in 1968, the man has been involved in a serial killing but police were unable to tack him. Despite of rigorous investigation and search for the killer, no one was ever arrested for the murders. The mysterious killer named himself Zodiac. He suddenly got off the scene with no trace behind. The case is still open.

6. Severed Foot Beach in British Columbia

is not uncommon for bodies to wash up on beaches but for one beach in British Columbia severed feet have consistently been floating ashore for the past several years causing numerous theories to be put forth.

7.Green Children

Two children were discovered in the England, in the kingdom of Suffolk under King Stephen’s region. These children were found in Woolpit village when formers were reaping their harvest. The children were hiding in a deep pitch dug to trap wolves. Their skin was covered with a green hue and their clothes were made up of some unidentifiable material. These children were offered bread which they refused to eat as it was entirely a new food for them. They spoke the language which no one was familiar with. Both of them were fed on harvested beans until they developed the taste for bread. The boy got shrink, weakened and died. The girl lived a healthy life and learned to speak English. By the time, her green tone changed into a normal skin.

Later of her age, she told that they used to live in a cavern where everything was green. They were gazing their father cattle when they heard church’s bell and followed. She only remembered these very few things of her childhood. The descendant to that lady exists today but the story is still a mystery till date.

8. Pollock Twins

Jacqueline and Joanna Pollock were twin sisters who died tragically at a very young age. A car smashed them while they were walking towards the church. After one year, Mrs. Pollock got pregnant. Despite the opposite views of doctor, the father insisted it would be twin girls. At the time of birth, they were twin girls who were named Jennifer and Gillian. The weird similarities and behaviors of the girls were observed that gave rise to the belief of re-creation (reincarnation). Many leading psychologists, who had been studying this phenomenon, studied their case and confirmed the miracle.

The twin sisters had same birth marks and scars. They asked for the same toys, even recalling the same name of dolls asked by their deceased sisters. They always asked to visit the same park. The twin sisters were unaware of their deceased sisters, but these strange facts and bizarre similarities make this case another unsolved mystery ranked no. 7 on our list.

9. Doppelgangers

Doppelganger is a German word which means the Evil Twin. This paranormal phenomenon is mentioned by many popular people such as Emily Stagee, Abraham Lincoln and Percy Shelley through their journals or personal accounts. According to this belief, every person has a duplicate but demonic twin that wanders a parallel universe experiencing and doing exactly the same things. One becomes aware of such twin in a state of post disaster or deathful sickness. This phenomenon, up to some extent, explains the phenomenon of déjà vu and an extra unseen person that follows us everywhere and gets explicit only under extremely grave conditions. Regarding Emily Stagee, it is said that more than 50 students witnessed her twin having a black shadow that encircled her writing on black board while she actually was sitting in a garden pulling out the weeds. This scary and weird unsolved mystery comes at number 8 on our list.

10. The Hum

This mysterious sound with its devastating results comes at no. 9 of our top 10 greatest unsolved mysteries of all times. The mystery of Hum preludes the era of 1950’s. Reports of an unpleasant acoustic low frequency disturbance were famous from specific zone of Taos (Mexico), Bondi (Sydney), Bristol (England) and Windsor (Ontario). The people complained of a disturbing drumming, throbbing, humming sound that resulted in depression and sleepless nights. The possible causes might be the activities in hum prone zones but no scientific reasons could explain this paranormal phenomenon. These Hums were heard by 11pc of total population resulting in headaches, nausea and even suicides. The Hum still continues to be an unsolved mystery.

The military of United States is the world’s top ranking military in terms of strength. That is according to a ranking of 10 strongest militaries in the world by GFP (Global Firepower). Russia ranks second, narrowly ahead of China. India and Japan round out the top five. They examined the defence forces of 126 countries in order to make the rankings, taking into account manpower, land systems, air power, naval power, resources, logistics, finances and geography covered. They measure 50 different stats about a country, including number of aircraft carriers, available manpower, and labor force to produce a Power Index, in which lower numbers equal more firepower.

Nuclear capabilities is not taken into account. As the inclusion of such weapons would defeat the purpose of such comparisons. The placings are based strictly on each nation’s potential conventional war-making capabilities across land, sea and air. Current political/militory leadership is not taken into account. Here, below is a list of world’s top 10 strongest militaries as of 2015

10. TURKEY

Turkey joins China and India in attempting to become a large scale military supplier through several high profile ongoing development programs.
